Can I connect a coaxial cable directly to the output probe of a magnetron?
I have been interested in the theme of wireless power transmission and I have been tinkering with some ideas lately.
I would like to start with a common microwave magnetron with all due precautions. I am wondering if I can just directly connect a coaxial cable to the ouput probe of the magnetron and then feed this to an antenna in order to start experimenting with things such as powering flourescent lights at a distance etc .
Any help or know how on this will be greatly appreciated.
Better you should couple it to a proper waveguide. The losses of coax at microwave frequencies are not small. And, at least it used to be, you could get pieces of waveguide as electronic surplus pretty cheap. Just match the frequency.
And, if you have been inspired by a recent movie about magicians that made Tesla into some sort of instant cult figure, remember he did not transmit energy through space. He used the skin effect of conductors at high frequencies. But, he was maybe the most important important engineer of his generation.
